Shocking News!! There are rich racist white people! Who knew?

It seems the sports news is going nuts over the news that Donald Sterling is bigot. Donald Sterling is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. In a recorded conversation with his girlfriend/mistress V.Stiviano, he makes some very bigoted statements. He seemed to be upset that she had pictures on her Instagram account with basketball legend Magic Johnson. The pictures have since been removed. Here’s a bit of what was said:

V: Honey, if it makes you happy, I will remove all of the black people from my Instagram.

DS: You said that before, you said, “I understand.”

V: I DID remove the people that were independently on my Instagram that are black.

DS: Then why did you start saying that you didn’t? You just said that you didn’t remove them. You didn’t remove every—

V: I didn’t remove Matt Kemp and Magic Johnson, but I thought—

DS: Why?

V: I thought Matt Kemp is mixed, and he was OK, just like me.

DS: OK.

V: He’s lighter and whiter than me.

DS: OK.

V: I met his mother.

DS: You think I’m a racist, and wouldn’t—

V: I don’t think you’re a racist.

DS: Yes you do. Yes you do.

V: I think you, you—

DS: Evil heart.

And there is also this baffling exchange about black Jews in Israel:

DS: It’s the world! You go to Israel, the blacks are just treated like dogs.

V: So do you have to treat them like that too?

DS: The white Jews, there’s white Jews and black Jews, do you understand?

V: And are the black Jews less than the white Jews?

DS: A hundred percent, fifty, a hundred percent.

V: And is that right?

DS: It isn’t a question—we don’t evaluate what’s right and wrong, we live in a society. We live in a culture. We have to live within that culture.

V: But shouldn’t we take a stand for what’s wrong? And be the change and the difference?

DS: I don’t want to change the culture, because I can’t. It’s too big and too [unknown].

V: But you can change yourself.

DS: I don’t want to change. If my girl can’t do what I want, I don’t want the girl. I’ll find a girl that will do what I want! Believe me. I thought you were that girl—because I tried to do what you want. But you’re not that girl.
Very disturbing to say the least. So what next? Will people boycott the Clippers games? Will Sterling be forced to sell his team? Will the black players decide not to play for him? Hmmmmm…..I doubt any of this will happen. I think this should be a wake up call to black people in this country and worldwide. Sterling’s black players are basically his million dollar slaves working for their master. And this goes for all professional athletes. Black athletes entertain the mostly white crowd. Most of the owners are white/Jewish and this includes most of the agents as well. This is NOT real news in my opinion. Do you think Sterling is the only bigoted NBA,NHL or NFL owner? If you do,you’re sadly mistaken. H just happen to get recorded. In a system of white supremacy this is to be expected. I know some people are calling this woman a gold digger,skank,whore,seeking revenge,set him up etc. Some of this may be true. Or maybe all of those things are true.I don’t even care about the fact that she is a biracial(black/Mexican) woman. Although it does make you wonder about why she was with a man who had these racist views. To each his/her own right? I just hope this wakes up all the black people who think we live in a post-racial society. Nothing could be further from the truth. And if black players don’t want to play for a racist Jewish bigot—-create your own league. This incident exposes how much black people rely on others to employ us. When we should be creating jobs for ourselves. We need economic empowerment. Then we wouldn’t have to worry about having to play for racists. When I first heard this story I literally yawned. Racist bigots control most of the corporations in this country. So why is this a shocking story in the first place? It’s because society now frowns upon OVERT racism. Calling people racist names is no longer tolerated. But having control over 90% of the wealth in this country is okay I guess. No one ever speaks about economic racism. The fact that black people are slaves because we don’t control or produce anything. Being able to dance,rap,sing,run fast or dunk a basketball will not lead us to liberation. Only hard work,dedication,organization,economic development that WE control will free us. Let’s concentrate on doing that. And not what some over hill bigots think of us. Trust me,he’s not the only one with those sentiments. We got bigger issues to deal with. Let’s keep it moving.

Good point.lol He says he and Cookie wont ever go to another Clippers game. That’s cool. But it still shows athletes are rich slaves in my opinion. I’m sure MJ is really pissed though. What do you think?

So, they turned their warm ups inside out? Wow! That’s showing him!! For real??? They ain’t about to bite the hand that feeds them. Hell! He could go into the locker room and call each one of them a ‘nigger’ to their face and they’d still play the next day. It’s all about getting that bread, man!

Not a one of those slave fools would think of pooling their money together and invest in opening up new businesses. It’s all about living lavishly and with that one and only thought, their money runs out quick!

That’s so true Shelby. They know who pays for that luxurious lifestyle.They are just high priced slaves. I know that offends some people but it’s a reality we must all face. Trust me,Sterling is not the only racist ream owner. So why such shock??

Prince, I don’t know why we continue to act shocked over these ‘revelations’ when we already know the deal. And I certainly wasn’t shocked to read that the NAACP was just about to hand this Sterling guy a ‘lifetime achievement’ award. The NAACP hasn’t looked out for the interests of regular Black folks for decades. The organization is corporate-owned and the Blacks who pay their membership dues are of no consequence. I know because I lived in Baltimore, MD and saw how Black people were living and the NAACP was doing absolutely nothing to negate the many serious social ills that had turned that city into a war zone plagued with gang violence, drugs, prostitution, addiction, homelessness, poverty, high drop-out rates and high unemployment. Instead, the NAACP touts out the usual suspects every year, those in the entertainment business and hands them ‘achievement’ awards and to hell with everyone else.

That’s true sis. The NAACP was started by Jews. Sterling is Jewish as well. The NAACP has never worked for the betterment of black people. It’s all a game to them. They can’t upset their white masters by telling the black masses the truth! All just deception! I’m tired of it myself.

I have never understood why black people refer to professional athletes as high-priced slaves? Can you please enlighten me on this?

I’ve always felt that moniker was disrespectful to their ancestors who were ACTUAL slaves and I really wish blacks would stop with that nonsensical comparison (unless there is something I am missing).
These athletes are no more a slave than any other employee. They are compensated for their contributions, whether they be physical, mental or personal. They also have something that true slaves did not have: free will and choice. They can choose not to work in professional sports and channel their energies into other ventures if they so desire. Their power to choose, amongst other things, is what separates them from slave.

So, help me to understand why you think they are slaves. I really want to know.

Remind me again why colleges and universities have to make cuts on arts and science programs to dump more $$$ into their sports programs so these racist slave owners *cough* I mean racist team owners can reap the benefits?

“It’s all about getting that bread, man!”
Exactly! Turning warm-ups inside out is not a revolutionary act, but quiting the team is, which as was said these players probably won’t and DO NOT have the balls to do.

Turning warm-ups inside out shows how powerless the athletes are. That’s the best they could do?? Give me a break! These racist owners are laughing their asses off! They know these athletes are just million dollar slaves!

smh, I guess people assume just because they are mixed and lighter they are different and won’t be treated badly by these racists.

DS: “It isn’t a question—we don’t evaluate what’s right and wrong, we live in a society. We live in a culture. We have to live within that culture.”

so basically we live in a screwed society but lets not try to change it because everybody has to play their part, and so long as white is on top within that culture there’s no need for change.

“I don’t want to change the culture, because I can’t. It’s too big and too [unknown].”

this is the one thing that makes sense, racism white supremacy is huge and global, it will take more than one person trying to fight against it for it to be destroyed. and a lot of people will not want to give up their privileges.

“I don’t want to change. If my girl can’t do what I want, I don’t want the girl. I’ll find a girl that will do what I want! Believe me. I thought you were that girl—because I tried to do what you want. But you’re not that girl.”

now what woman would deal with this bs, yes he obviously does want a girl because no woman would put up with this. this pos wants a girl he can control and say yes to everything and overlook him practicing racism on others.

I totally agree! He’s a filthy racist pig! And this woman is very confused. She has NO pride or self respect to be with this piece of garbage! I’m glad he’s exposed though. Thanks Misstoogood. I always appreciate your feedback. You always keep it real and never bite your tongue. I admire that.

That whole entire conversation reeks with racist and sexist dialogue. She even tried to clean it up and he had the nerve to threaten her. Who in the fuck does he think he is? He will get another girl… I guess so. He bought that one he can buy another. WTF! This joker got exposed but there are others and we don’t have the resources, access or influence to fight them.

He’s a pompous pig! The Clippers have game 5 tonight. It would really be revolutionary if they didn’t play tonight. But it has to be an united front. That would really send a strong message to all NBA owners!

They, NBA, should also carry the burden. They don’t give one good goddamn about the players. When behind closed doors, they express the same sentiments as Sterling. Not all, but some express those negative, racist sentiments. This is not surprising. What is surprising is that the woman exposed him instead of taking the “payoff”. I hope she got everything out of him because they will “blacklist” her.

Sports has become a modern-day plantation because the blackmen who reside within it are complicit. These are grown-azz men with millions, no whiteman can talk smack to them. All they gotta do is walk out the door. As far as the owners replacing them with european ballers, So Be It! Black Athletes are the best of the best, folk will follow no matter what. Just like with the NCAA, all it takes is a few brave souls to upset the status quo. We make everybody else rich, is this our legacy as men of african descent? V. Stiviano, her insanity speaks for itself. Women like her are what we get from swirling, come on black people? What are we doing to ourselves?

lol yep, then doc rivers said that mess about we won’t protest it will be in our play I was like gtfoh. Then throwing their warm up suits down
wtf kind of btcharse tantrum throwin bs is that.
u say don’t bring people to the games that look like me
well i’ll strip in response smh.
then the sellouts *cough koonbe bryant and charles barkley coming out with their shock and outrage was
entertaining to see.

It seems these males are paid for, pay them to play and u get
their manhood, dignity, and integrity as well. it’s pitiful to see
people caring more about a sport than the players well being.
new slaves.

It just shows that they have no power, no plans, and if, they stay no future with these things in it. It would be one thing to be playing this child’s game and taking the money to build up your own and have an exit plan so as to never have to work for them ever again. But, no none of that, but they want to have all of us be outraged for them. Notice that it is other black embarrassments that call themselves black men who have the mike and are crying in the mike instead of say that we need to make an exit plan cause after all these year these white f**ks still don’t know how to act.

Yeah, I kinda wonder which is worse the NBA players white wives saying and doing nothing or the woman who exposed this ish. I noticed that with these men if, possible will it kick back on that girl and these silly men then kick it back on black women. It is best that we black women stay away from this situation and save our support for real black men. These matters effect us little if, we stay out of them as these people don’t really like us. What they like is the money in our pockets. This is why i have never been to a game and will never pay for such things. It wastes time and money both of which are better spent else where.

I know Honey. Sports is the new slavery. Black people are the athletes but don’t control it.We have to own those teams to really have a voice and have real power. It’s a reality many people don’t want to admit. But you make some great points. Thanks for sharing.

So these gladiator black males thought they were MEN in the eyes of their Massa? LOL. Well the penny has dropped… and yet it won’t make an iota of a difference because gladiator black males want MONEY and they will do anything to get it no matter the disrespect that comes their way or the impact it has on the minds of young black boys who see them taking shit from rich ole Massa to receive his million dollar change.

We have to demand respect! Respect is earned,not given. These athletes need to grow a spine and speak out against injustice. This is what black men must do to turn things around. Otherwise we will be looked at as a joke by other races.

I may be in the minority here, but I personally take no issue with Don Sterling’s comments. Black people refuse to believe this, but a great MANY of the white people you interact with feel the same way as Sterling and express the same thoughts behind closed doors. The difference between Sterling and the people that you know is that those you know have not had their private conversations recorded.

Aside from that, did you all even hear or read what Sterling actually said? As uncomfortable as it may be, he was correct in what he said. He DOES feed and clothe those athletes, so that statement was truth. What about the statement he made about black Jews? Blacks ARE treated like less than dogs in the global community. We all know this to be true. So he doesn’t want to be associated with blacks, so the hell what? Reality check: NOBODY wants to be associated with blacks, unless they are benefitting from said association. This includes other blacks. So let’s all keep our feelings out of this discussion and recognize the reality of it all. If anything this man did us (blacks) a favor in that this is a wake-up call that blacks have not and will NEVER achieve equality as long as we refuse to do for SELF!

My thoughts on all these detractors: Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Charles Barkley…either put up or SHUT UP! These men collectively have enough capital and resources to start their own damn team if they wanted to. I’m sick of blacks acting as if we NEED whites…history has proven that we DO NOT. Blacks have done it before (Negro Baseball League, anyone?) and it can be done again- if we collaborate and pool our resources.

In conclusion, leave Don Sterling alone. He is not the problem, WE (blacks) are the problem. Imposing sanctions on him won’t do a damn thing to change anything. If anything we should be insulted by the NBA’s actions as I take it as an insult to our intelligence. They are just throwing black people a proverbial “bone” to shut us up and to divert our attention away from the real issue. We as a people continue to chase this carrot of equality and acceptance in the eyes of whites, when this will NEVER happen- not as long as the white supremacy power structure is firmly exists. Once someone shows you who they are, not only do you believe them but ACT on the information. Don Sterling has shown us what time it is……what are we going to do?

Although I’m aware of it, I have never read “40 Million Dollar Slave” because I reject the premise. Regardless of what this author says, these athletes are NOT slaves, so I always felt the book and title were offensive and sensationalizing the discussion. I will try to keep an open mind and put the book on my reading list.

Okay Kushite, I took you up on the suggestion and read “40 million dollar slaves.” It was a pretty informative read as there was a lot of insight into the operations of professional sports. I see what the author was doing with the slavery comparison, but my original position has not changed: professional athletes are not slaves. Are they exploited? YES! But so is every employee. So I guess to the author anyone who is an employee is also a slave. The job of a professional athlete is no different from any other employee; that is, their job is to enrich the owners. Period. Full stop. Same thing with anyone else in the entertainment industry: musicians, actors, etc. I don’t know why people think they are special and exempted from exploitation. Usually the more talent you bring, the more exploited you are.

Overall, I did enjoy the book and I especially found his description of the recruiting process (conveyor belt) very informative. Black athletes need to wake up and realize their collective power. But as long as they continue to accept and advance white superiority, I doubt that will be happening any time soon. Thanks for the recommendation.

You make some great points. But I guess we agree to disagree on this. I still see the that most of the owners are white and the players are black. That alone makes the correlation to slavery itself. I guess we just see things differently. Its cool though. We don’t have to always agree on every issue.
